jobseeking after being stay at home mum

HOG have you considered why you elisit such a response in people. Not swearing doesn't mean you occupy some higher moral ground you know. Just means you're a bit prissy.

you know nothing about me or my job situation/securing employment. You said it was only a guess and you were right.

I would also point out that i spent a lot of time trying to help you through your stated traumas of signing on at the jobcentre a few weeks back, which to me did provide an indication of your job status i.e. you didn't have one.

pulling someone up on a piece of grammar is also pathetic its only an internet forum WHY SHOULD I MAKE AN EFFORT FOR YOU.

Lets make this a little clearer then shall we?
You dissed a whole group of people, including the OP as people who you had 'written off' - their deficiency? Being female and having borne a child.

So to show you how uncomfortable that feels when someone does that.. I used your lack of appropriate spelling to do the same..

Clearly its made you feel a little uncomfortable and upset which was my intention- since thats exactly how I and other women clearly felt being labelled 'write offs' for having had children and 'shock horror' devoted time and made sacrifices to stay home and do the very important job of raising them

the way is see it is i posted, some are unable to accept what is said wouldnt it have been better to think oh well thats their opinion up to them, instead of coming back with the usual swearing it hasnt solved anything.

you can always ignore what people posters dont have to keep coming back with something do they?

Do you argue with strangers in the street like this that you dont know?

No but then the strangers I meet in the street dont generally look me up and down before saying "you might as write yourself off now youve had children- I have"
because I'd probably wipe the floor with them. I consider that Ive been quite polite to you, given what youve said.

utter crap, not written her off cos she had borne a child but if a women stays at home for a long time and brings a child up then tries to get back into the workplace and is almost like a beginner again and has not trained for anything then yes i standby what i say, it isnt easy and especially not for any single woman who needs a full time career job to keep a house running. not my fault thats the way it is. Go and talk to a lot of people in that situation and see what they say and you might also like to know that the majority of women (single mums) go from income support onto jsa when their children are 16. This is because they have been out of work bringing up children and they dont find it easy in a competitive world to get back in thats FACT. while they have been busy with their career (kids) other ppl have been working and they are favoured for the jobs in this competitive world.

But in the post you quoted (#63) xenon_2 communicated perfectly well without using expletives, you fucking fraggle :rolleyes:
 
blimey you girlfriend has kids and you are around them and you say you have nothing much to hide on your pc, would hate you as my parents partner, what hope would there be. Your homepage picture, your vile language and some of your crap posts say it all about you. Think you have a lot to hide from kids actually.

poor kids.

Oh don't tempt me.....;) to report HOG that is:D
I must admit I just had a quick trawl through some of her(?) posting history and it seems heartof gold is just another trolling fuckwit/threadwrecker of the lowest order.
Sorry for the derail weepiper, heres hoping you get the opportunities you deserve :cool:

(((weepiper))) this could have been an informative thread....so sorry it got totally derailed:mad:

well it still can, hopefully HOG can see he/she has nothing left to say and keep off it.

Weepiper I was chatting with a friend who went back a couple of years ago and she used the opportunity to get some new skills and change direction and I hadnt realised but thats what i did too.
Instead of rushing back into getting a job if you can, doing some new quals via OU or the local college would probably be viewed very favourably by employers- youve already proved youve done something recent and relevant prior to seeking work.
Thats if thats what you want to do that is and if it interests you/you think its applicable to you.
We both used it to change direction in the end:)

I have a first class degree and plenty of experience before I stopped to have kids.


Many of the women returners I know have seen their withdrawal from fulltime rearing as an opportunity for education or training. Those who didn't go to uni or get qualified before they sprogged can find it a longer and more difficult process, but if you've got a degree there are plenty of post-grad one year courses... teaching, librarianship, physiotherapy and all sorts of other health related skills, management and so on. Many of these lead on to workplaces populated by a lot of women with kids- where cover and understanding is more or less built in, although booking holidays over half term is not necessarily guaranteed.


4 years isn't very long, most of the women I'm thinking of spent 10 or more raising kids and perhaps had a greater need for the confidence/skills boost. None the less, this might be your opportunity, because once you're back into full-on work the possibility of education recedes a bit. I know a few men who are rather jealous that they've never really had the opportunity because breadwinning has always taken priority.

I do thankyou. Can you not comunicate with out throwing your toys out the pramb and attempting to write off anyone who challenges your supposed knowledge, with childish character assasination. What ever you do for a living, I hope it's nothing to do with managing peple.
 
weepiper, sorry if has been said. Have you considered looking at local colleges for rellavent courses. Local voluntary organisations in areas of interest?

Nice insinuations directed at a stranger there. But oh no swearing's awfully rood.

Nasty squirming maggot.

I'm just beginning to think about looking for a job now my kids are getting a bit older. But I've been at home looking after them for 4 years and not working. How do I present that in a good light in an 'employ me' kind of way? :confused:

At least you got an excuse :D

This is a good idea actually, I could quite fancy librarianship (my uncle is a librarian) and you're right about it being a 'mother-friendly' workplace. I don't have to get a job NOW NOW NOW this is just the start of the process for me. Mr weepiper has just given up his full-time day job which he has had for the last 2 years to go back to living off his earnings as a musician, so I expect we'll be pretty skint for a while but we've done it before.

The fact that he is going to be working unpredictable hours is making it rather difficult for me to sort childcare though - when he's not away on tour it is obviously no problem for him to look after the kids but when he is away for 3 weeks at a time what do I do? I don't want to be sending the kids off to a childminder/nursery when they don't have to go but equally these places aren't available on a 'when you need it' basis.
